Background: Presence of vascular calcifications is associated to cardiovascular mortality in patients with terminal chronic renal disease (ESRD). The aim of the present study is to determine the association between dialysis modality and the presence of vascular calcification. Methods: Vascular calcification was detected by plain lateral abdominal radiograph. We calculated the proportion of vascular calcification associated whit dialysis modality obtaining adjusted prevalence ratios from logistic regression models in this cross- sectional study. Results: We studied a total of 224 patients, 75.4 % (169/224) were on hemodialysis and 24.6% (55/224) on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. The median age was 57 years –old and 49.1% (110-224) were female. Abdominal aortic calcification was detected in 31.3% (70/224). Higher parathyroid hormone level (PTH) was an independent factor associated whit vascular calcification. Conclusions: Our study suggests that peritoneal dialysis could be associated a higher presence of vascular calcification but we did not find a significance result due to small sample. The continuous evaluation in this group of patients must be encouraged to prevent further complications.
